We propose and experimentally demonstrate a surveillance technique based on spectral analysis of self-injection locked reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (SL-RSOA) for in-service monitoring of power splitter -passive optical networks (PS-PON). The proposed technique analyzes the cavity mode frequency of upstream transmitter at the optical network unit (ONU) to distinguish each branch fiber from other fiber branches of PS-PON without utilizing any additional surveillance source at the central office (CO).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
